CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that the people and companies of the
United States and the United States Armed Forces should not participate
in the Paris Air Show, should the Government of France continue its
opposition to the potential use of force to insure that Saddam Hussein
complies with United Nations resolutions concerning weapons of mass
destruction.

Whereas international cooperation is essential in the war on terrorism and in
preventing the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq under Saddam Hussein has supported terrorism and developed and used
weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq is currently not in compliance with United Nations resolutions
concerning weapons of mass destruction;
Whereas Iraq poses both a terrorist and military threat to the world because it
is not in compliance with United Nations resolutions concerning weapons
of mass destruction;
Whereas the United States and France have been allies and friends for many
years;
Whereas the 45th Paris Air Show will take place at le Bourget, France, beginning
on June 15, 2003; and
Whereas as a member of the United Nations Security Council, France has opposed
United States leadership in leading an international coalition to force
Iraq to comply with United Nations Security Council resolutions
concerning weapons of mass destruction: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of Congress that the people and companies of the
United States and the United States Armed Forces should not participate
in the 45th Paris Air Show in France should the Government of France
continue its opposition to the potential use of force to insure that
Saddam Hussein complies with United Nations resolutions concerning
weapons of mass destruction.
